Ryan was such a humble Man even though He had made it well on the Voice. I got to see Him at Cherry Festival and at the Boones. I even got to hold his guitar, the same one that he did his video with.
How you can show support

My wife and I met Ryan at Sunset Station when he was singing in a bar. It was after our anniversary dinner. He was really nice and sang multiple songs for us and our friends. I was very sad to read about his sudden death. RIP

My sister and I were visiting Las Vegas in March of 2014 and we saw him at Cabo Wabo. We learned that he was competing on the Voice and have been following and supporting him on social media ever since.

Ryan, you will be deeply missed. We'll never get to launch the song I wrote " Already Gone " that you brought to life with your beautiful voice and music.

Ryan you were an amazing performer and a very kind and giving person that we had the pleasure to meet on a couple occasions. You will be deeply missed. I will never forget the song I wrote that you brought to life with your talented vocals and music. We were able to see you in Traverse City where you were performing a concert charity event. We were able to meet with quite a few of your family members as well. On another occasion we were able to travel to Las Vegas and see you perform once again live at one of the local casinos there. We also got to meet your agent fiancee Zena. I will never forget what you did. I will be forever grateful for bringing my song to life. Ironically titled- "Already Gone"
I'm so blessed that God brought us together .

Ryan, my guy, you will be missed and loves by many across the country. I remember walking around the trailer park, you in all your heavy dark baggy clothing, and playing basketball, just listening to you play the guitar and sing at the picnic table in my yard. We were best buds from day 1. I was probably crazy clapping cheering and yelling at the TV watching every episode of the voice while you were on stage... we even had conversations aboutt raising Twins, just another thing we had in common ..I will never forget you and will for always be proud of you my guy...
